An extra condolence message to you Joanne so that I could add a purple [a favorite of your colors] to your memories here. Too bad there's no kitty picture that I could also place next to your name. With Love & Blessings Always, Catherine 'Cathy' Hamel
For some years now I've been missing calls from Joanne but was too ill until most recent to reach out to contact Joanne myself. Now I find that she's been with God for the past 4 years and I'm heartbroken. We met at First Unity where I was 'the' head usher at 2nd service for many years. After a change of ministers Joanne left for another church while I remained. We both continued to be in touch as we had such a warm friendship. I always had at least four cats as my main family in my home and while Joanne could not have cats in her condo, she was such a deep lover of all that was feline. Having also had season tickets for the FL Orchestra since the purchase of my home in the summer of 1993, Joanne and I enjoyed another rich love - that of all classical. When I'd an extra ticket Joanne would often join me. So much more in common. Oh Joanne, I missed you for so long and will continue to do so. I know that you're in the arms of our unconditionally loving Father. Bless you always.
